What I'm talking about is the faulty epistemology preferred by conspiracists in deciding the most plausible explanation of what happened. The "official story" is simply the one best supported by the actual evidence, and it will remain so until conspiracists do considerably better in that department than they have for the last 50 years. Instead, JFK conspiracists seem to be content with taking polls of how many people have been suckered into believing bullshit like Lane's books and Stone's JFK movie.
